 Information systems in Buisness

 
Assignment overview:

This coursework requires you to prepare a report selected from one of the topics on the attached list, to be completed on an individual basis. The report requires you to engage – to a greater or lesser extent – with the report analyzing the Return On Investment of a BlackBerry Deployment which may be found in the Assignments section of Blackboard.

This case study is purposively situated in 2006 to motivate students to engage critically with merging mobile technology and applications which have recently evolved. For example the current trend of ‘Bring your own device (BYOD)’ in the work place that generates a number of legal and ethical considerations. Also the recent concept of Cloud Computing that is changing the way organisations operate. Due to the recent developments students are expected to investigate the current situation and examine the developing situation.

there are 5 topics to chose from for the report. I chose this one:
The provision of new and emerging information and communication technologies (ICT) should be regarded as an investment and not just an expense and does not necessarily result in increased productivity or increased profits.

at the end of the assignment I want a conclusion(not a summary).

Develop selection and training processes

 

Please find below details for essay, also request you to provide FIRST DRAFT WITHIN 3 DAYS, so I can review and share my views.

Outline Scenario:

You company have been approached by a company called ABC UK for help with its personnel selection and training processes. ABC UK invests in and manages a number of regional UK airports, including XYZ Airport in the West of England. XYZ Airport first opened in 1965 and since then, in line with customer demand, has grown both in the number of airlines that operate there and the number of destinations they fly to. In the last twelve months, ten new destinations have been added and the airport has seen a significant increase in the number of passengers. The rise in passenger numbers, in addition to the growing number of passenger security checks needed to deal with heightened security threats, has meant that queues at the baggage screening checkpoints have become very long. ABC UK are concerned about the ability of their baggage security officers (BSOs) to deal with this added demand without compromising their performance, and about the number of customer complaints they are receiving about queuing times. In an attempt to address these issues, over the next six months ABC UK will be making some changes. A new automatic scanning system will be introduced which performs an initial assessment of baggage tray content. This will show BSOs an image only when it spots a suspicious item (rather than an image of every tray), meaning the BSOs will have fewer images to check and can concentrate on those images which are a concern. The customer service policy will also be updated. The 20 existing BSOs will require retraining, and 30 additional BSOs will be recruited.

ABC UK has commissioned your company to design and run these selection and training processes for them.

Although existing competency models and training plans for the BSO role exist, the Human Resources Director believes that they are outdated and would like you to start work from the beginning on identifying a competency model and identifying training needs. Furthermore, due to commercial pressures, ABC UK are keen to start work on this as soon as possible and have therefore requested that the job analysis and training needs analysis be completed within a three month period.

Task 1: Describe how you would conduct an effective job analysis in order to generate a competency model for the baggage security officer role. Also, describe how you would extend this job analysis into an effective training needs analysis to identify training needs for the 20 existing baggage security officer staff who require training.

Your job analysis was successful and generated the following competency model for the BSO role at XYZ Airport:

Baggage security officer – competencies:
• Operation of screening systems
• Concentration and attention to detail
• Communication
• Decision-making

Operation of screening systems refers to being able to understand and use the new automatic scanning system. This includes how the system identifies a suspicious object, how the controls are operated, how to check and respond to the corresponding images, and how to identify whether the system has been interfered with in some way. Concentration and attention to detail refers to the skill of inspecting for and noticing certain patterns, similarities and differences that would characterise a suspicious object, and being able to maintain effective performance on this task during long work shifts in a busy, noisy environment. Communication with colleagues and with passengers is also key to the role. The BSOs give and receive security information and so they are required to speak clearly, avoiding jargon, and they must use active listening in conversations with colleagues. As the BSOs also deal with frustrated and sometimes aggressive customers, they need to remain calm and polite in their communication. Decision–making skills are required in order to decide upon the appropriate course of action if, for example, a suspicious item is identified, or a colleague highlights a security threat/issue.

Once you had developed the competency model, you extended the job analysis to analyse the training needs of ABC UK’s 20 existing BSOs who will be operating the new screening technology (i.e., Task 1). Your training needs analysis found that all 20 existing BSOs required full training in all four competencies. This is because the new technology places different demands on the BSOs’ concentration and attention to detail and has changed the way they need to make decisions and work with their colleagues. Communications with passengers have also changed as a result of ABC UK’s new strategy to improve customer satisfaction.
As it is pleased with your work so far, ABC UK has agreed that your company can continue working on designing and running the training process. Again, due to commercial pressures, ABC UK is keen to complete all phases of this training process within a three month period.

Task 2: Describe how you would develop, run, and evaluate an effective training process to train the 20 baggage security officers in all four competencies. You should justify the decisions you make and methods you select with reference to the WORK PSYCHOLOGY research literature.

The training process was successful and all 20 BSOs are now fully trained and working effectively at XYZ Airport. Due to your success so far, ABC UK has agreed that your company can continue working on designing and running the selection process for the 30 new BSOs they wish to recruit. Again, due to commercial pressures, ABC UK is keen to complete all phases of this selection process within a three month period. Furthermore, as they do not wish to pay hotel expenses to candidates, they have requested that the selection activities are all completed within a 5 hour period on a single day for each group of candidates.

Task 3: Describe how you would develop, run, and evaluate an effective personnel selection process to select 30 suitable candidates for the baggage security officer role by assessing them against all four competencies. You should address all aspects of the selection process up to, but not including, the point where candidates are offered the job (except those aspects already addressed in Task 1). However, you may assume that you are allowed to obtain future data from the company regarding the recruited candidates, should you require it. You should justify the decisions you make and methods you select with reference to the WORKPSYCHOLOGY research literature.

All cannot be covered in detail, so prioritise the main features and briefly refer to other issues. If you are unclear about aspects of the scenario description, define your own understanding and justify your decisions accordingly. You may assume there is a reasonably large budget available to develop the selection and training processes.

You must complete Task 1 and Task 2 and Task 3 within 3000 words with equal weight means approximately 1000 words for each task.

Occupational Health and Safety: A comparison of the strategies for the control of healthcare associated infection in hospitals:

 
A comparison of the strategies for the control of healthcare associated infection in hospitals: the UK and the Arab Gulf States

Abstract
This will be about 200 words long and gives details of your objectives, method(s), key results and conclusions.

Assessment criteria
The structure of this first project is not as prescribed for the research project.

Title
Please edit the title of the paper if it has any mistakes
Abstract and Introduction (10%)
1. Title – The title should give a clear indication of the problem or issue to be examined.
2. Aims – The topic should be introduced with an explanation of why it is worthy of study together with what you intend to achieve. Rather than identify one broad aim it is better to specify several discrete aims. The introduction should not only “set the scene” but also explain to the reader what to expect in the subsequent sections. This should include a methodology of how the review/work was carried out.

Literature review (40%)
A literature review is a critical and evaluative account of what has been published on the chosen topic. It should include:
1. an explanation of key terms e.g. safety culture
2. identification of relevant legislation, standards and guidance
3. identification and discussion of relevant research within the chosen topic
4. a proper Harvard citation to each source You must engage in the research literature as the basis of your review, otherwise the project will not be at the required level.

Analysis of the issue in the context of the literature (40%)
1. Here the issue in respect of the chosen organisation is first described (it should have been briefly mention in the introduction) and then analysed and discussed with reference to the literature.
2. Some projects amount to simple narratives or catalogues of factual material. At the other extreme they express personal opinions with little or no hard information or examples to support them. Neither is acceptable.
3. Show that you have analysed and discussed the information rather than having merely described it.
4. Make reference to the literature identified in the literature review.

Conclusions and Recommendations (10%)

1. Every project should lead to conclusions, positive or negative. The conclusions should be related directly to the title and aims of the investigation and be based on the information derived from the investigation.
2. It may be appropriate to make recommendations if for example the assignment requires you to assess management practice in a workplace. They may concern changes in policy, procedures, protocols, practices, equipment or training. They may indicate a range of options. Possibly you may recommend no change.

Presentation and references
1. A bibliography is NOT required.
2. The project should have a clear structure which divides up the content into logical blocks and also links the blocks together in a logical manner, thereby enabling the readers to rapidly gain a clear over-view of the work.
3. The form to aim for is about midway between an English essay and a business report, avoiding the completely continuous text of the former, which can be difficult for the reader to assimilate but also avoiding the “bullet-point”, note form of the latter, which does not allow you to show the logical build-up of your argument. It is essential that you build-up a logical case from the Introduction through to the Recommendations and demonstrate it.
4. Charts, tables, graphs and other types of illustration should be used, where appropriate, to support points made in the text. Their significance should be explained. It is the writer’s job to do this: it is not the job of the readers to work it out for themselves. All charts etc should be explicitly referred to in the text.
5. Presentation of quantitative data, e.g. in tables or graphs, should be clear and accurate, with axes labelled.
6. You must write in good clear well-punctuated English. Avoid the use of colloquial expressions and slang. Avoid also the use of the First and Second Persons ie “I” ,”We” or “you”. It is often a good idea to get a friend to read your project to identify grammar and spelling errors – it is not your supervisor’s role to correct the English.
